Description Meet Caspian, one of the Cincinnati Zoo's coolest owls!  

With wings that can span up to six feet, the Eurasian eagle owl is one of the largest owls in the world. Its powerful yet silent wings enable this night hunter to stealthily swoop down and scoop up prey. They can even catch other birds in mid-air!

I took this photo at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden's Night Hunters exhibit with my Nikon D7100, Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6, Sunpack tri-pod, and shutter release for stability. It's super dark in that exhibit, so I'm happy I did alright with that slow lens.
